Morning Show Mooning

There’s some video on YouTube of a man mooning a television morning show in Canada.
Three men are sitting talking when the mooner scoots behind them, visible through the large window, then back the other way.
Finally he’s skipping along slowly and I can’t tell if they’re just ignoring him or they don’t know he’s there because their backs are to the window.
It’s funny and I laughed in spite of myself because I don’t usually find mooners very funny at all.
Mooning of course is in the news after an 18-year-old dropped his pants at the Briarcliff High School graduation last week. He’s been banned from the school grounds and now he’s charged with disorderly conduct and exposure of a person.
He probably ruined the ceremony for some of the people there. I have no doubt about that. But was his behavior illegal?
I write about it in my column tomorrow.

Of course what the graduating senior did was offensive, but the overreaction of Briarcliff Schools is typical of the overreaction of many schools in this day and age, beginning with the suspension of the kindergarten boy a few years back for kissing a girl to the suspension of a boy answering his cell phone when his mom was calling while away serving in the war. It’s all black and white when the student is the offender but a totally different story when the offender is a representative of the school.
